  • Welcome back to another episode of Snail Mail with Smokey. In this episode, I'll share a selection of stamps sent in by a viewer. We'll take a trip down memory lane to Christmas time, pay tribute to the cherished Queen Elizabeth II, and take a closer look at an exceptional example of cartoon artwork on stamps. Plus, discover how you can contribute to a future episode of Snail Mail with Smokey.

    Hi Smokey, Steve sent you a wonderful and appropriate gift. I love the card, and I am sure the stamps will bring you joy having a place in your collection. Thanks for showing it to us so nicely. Hmmm, a question? OK. Have you been a pastor right from the start of your career, and what inspired you to become one? I hope the question is not too personal. 🙂

      Really great question! I look forward to sharing the answer with you.

    Hi Smokey. So pleased you liked the stamps. I'm not sure the Mongolian stamp was actually issued as a Christmas stamp, but it was quite Christmassy in nature. Also glad you liked the card.

      The card and stamps are terrific! Thanks again for your kindness and generosity!

    Very nice stamps from Stephen - makes me want to set up a small selection of only small commonwealth stamps with the queen! You may have covered this in an earlier episode - how many Doctor Who and Star Trek stamps do you have and favorite Doctor and Captain.

      Thanks for watching and for the great question. I really enjoy collecting stamps of QEII.

    Stephen is so generous, I've seen other philatelic and postcrossing youtubers show the stuff he sent they. I'm happpy to see you are one of them. My question would be: Do you see other type of CZcams content not related with mail and philately? Like what?

    Hey Smokie, another nice video & some nice stamps from Steve! Q. If you weren't collecting stamps, what alternative do think you would collect? All the best from the UK

      A great question, that I will have to think about. thanks for watching and have a great day!

    Hi Smokey - thanks for your videos. Here's my question for you: Why does the USPS issue so many variations of definitive stamps - especially the flag stamps? I have a US used collection that I started years ago and am still adding to and it's so tedious to try to figure out all the subtle differences with microprinting, perf. size, etc. I'm really trying to get away from filling albums and moving towards collecting what I like, but the OCD in me hates these gaps. lol!

      Hi Kelly, that is a really great question. I will try to do some research and get an answer for you. Thanks so much for watching!

      great question! Bravo for always using tongs while sorting your stamps. Thanks for watching!

    Great video
    Question : if the earth spun in the opposite direction then it currently does what differences might we see?

    • @SnailmailwithSmokey
      @SnailmailwithSmokey  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Going to have to give that question some serious thought.
